A member asked:
My nipples have been sore for over a week. i read it could be hormonal or pms but i've never had this before im 37 what could it be other than pregnant?

Yes: Yes, it could be hormonal. Progesterone is the hormone that's most commonly responsible for breast and nipple pain. It could be that your hormones (estrogen and progesterone) are out of ratio to each other. You might want to see your doctor and discuss this? Other reasons for breast pain can be excess caffeine, alcohol. Again, consider seeing your doctor for exam and discussion re your specifics.
